Neurological Rehabilitation

The brain is a 1.5kg, complex organ that controls thought, memory, emotion, touch, motor skills, vision, breathing, temperature, hunger and every process that regulates our body. The brain and spinal cord that extends from it, make up the central nervous system.

Building stronger connections within the brain to improve memory cognition, balance, speech and movement often requires a combination of highly specific exercises, neurological integration and muscle facilitation. We will work with you to improve your neurological health and to help you to manage or recover from your neurological condition.
